Setting aside the fact that in the first half hour of the Oscars (all I caught on TV–I’m filling in the rest online), I got to see Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams as honorees and Tina Fey presenting, making it feel like a very good year to be a nerdy/good girl aspiring actress, we narrow our focus to Anne Hathaway. I haven’t actually seen the Princess Diaries; I pretty much love her for looking normal, seeming sweet, and charming the pants off me in Devil Wears Prada.

I know, I can’t believe I haven’t seen the Princess Diaries either.

First of all, I’m thrilled that so many people have said they enjoyed the first Gamergirl song. I went out of town immediately after announcing it, the better to not be able to respond in a timely manner, but I’m back and catching up and deeply appreciate the responses.

And speaking of catching up, here is the sublimely last-minute announcement of a Big Screen Debut!

Saturday, Feb. 21st at 8:00 (tomorrow night), “The Continuing Adventures of Anne and Jack” will hit the big screen at the Mayer Theater at Loyola Marymount University.

More information, you would like some?

Sometimes when it rains it pours, as everyone in the Los Angeles area can attest after the last few days (seriously, giant hail?).

Be prepared for some exclamation points; good news is worth celebrating. Acting news after the jump!

 

Well, this is interesting February 4, 2009

This is perhaps not the ideal content to share with the world, but I’ve been having a severe fit of ditz over the last few weeks, and I’d say this is the capper. This post comes to you from my friendly neighborhood public library, where a very kind lady was good enough to let me use the computers without a card. Why don’t I have a card, you ask?

Because I locked myself out of the house getting the mail.
